i like the fact that it has a post trouble shooting led and on the side of the board are power, reset and CMOS reset buttons and solid state capacitors.
and just because something is cheaper does not mean it is better
No, the 750i is not an awesome board. That is where you are wrong. Nvidia chipsets fail compared to the Intel ones. I'm not going to let you get away with a truce. The P45 is superior, and the 750i FTL sucks.
Personally the primary reason I buy enthusiast motherboards is because of their overclocking ability. If I didn't care about overclocking ability I might as well get a $60 g31 board since it can do everything else just fine.
As far as overclocking is concerned the TP45hP has a clear advantage as indicated by the fsb it can hit.
